he actually would have been more stellar had he landed the triple axel. If Nam is struggling too much with the height issue / growth it would be nice to see Kevin regain his form and go with Chan to earn or try to earn 3 spots for Canada. Canada truly is going to give the US a run for their money - though ironically when it comes to world's these two countries could have a lot of power into whether either gets three men for 2017.I don't understand the USA comparison? Run for its money in what? I look at Yuzuru, Fernandez and Ten as our competition in men's, not really the American skaters.I read the same article and sadly compared to say Nathan Chen the cards for Nam in respect to growth pattern is not helpful to top notch skating. He is a hard worker and the fact he is still able to compete reasonable well says a lot but he may become a victim o f this growth. I do not like the hate towards liam though I think in the long we will see him not score so well comparatively if he does not up the jump ante (content). Nice to see kevin trying quads
Well I actually think if the judges are fair Chan should get this kind of score internationally if hanyu can get 110. Come on -yes Hanyu has harder elements but Chan should edge him at least if not more for pcs if they are clean and even if you were generous and gave hanyu both 7 points is a lot so 103 and change is not impossible or fair internationally. The judges for whatever reason improvement, too many good skaters so you end up raising marks whatever are giving far higher pcs to skaters who truly are good, maybe great but not of the masterful skils of Lambiel, Buttle or Chan - Hanyu is getting there I think but Fernandez, Ten, Yan, Brown et al are not the same brilliance - though I think Hanyu might be there (I get intimidated by the uber hanyuites.)LMAO!And there it is, people. The begrudging "compliment" followed by the attempt to trivialize it.
I'm surprised your head didn't spontaneously combust complimenting it, and as merely a "good" skate at that.
And obviously that score won't hold up internationally. You think Hanyu will (or rather, deserves to) get 102 with a fall, or Fernandez will get 48 PCS, like they got at Nationals?
(Not to mention, the GPF judges clearly had their uppers that weekend and were excessively generous to clean skates with marks you'll never see from any legitimately critical judging panel (that goes for S/K, Medvedeva and W/P) -- same goes with high PCS for bad skates from popular skaters - see Chan's & D/R's SP and Mao's & Gracie's FS PCS.
LMAO!

He deserve that score even with a fall. His clean SP is worth 105-110, so a fall on a ROTATED quad (and he has two quads) would still score him over 100.
I suppose then you think Medvedeva deserves to score 142-145 points if she has one rotated fall in her FS, because a clean skate otherwise gets her 148.
